The 25-year-old woman alleged that she met the then 15-year-old Bieber at a TGI Fridays restaurant in Miami's South Beach following a concert, and was invited back to his hotel room to sleep with him.

"She gave birth to a baby girl later that year, and Justin didn't know anything about it," an insider told the publication, adding: "She just wanted to protect her baby. She wanted to keep her and her family away from any spotlight."

Star also published purported text messages exchanged the day after the supposed fling, where Bieber allegedly asked the woman to keep their encounter as "[their] little secret".

The woman then apparently returned to Europe and discovered the pregnancy once back home.
